Pork Ammunition

I'm not, "going on tilt" about it. I'm saddened people think it's "funny." In fact, it's less than funny; it's unhelpful.

You think it's not bigoted; just "fun." Well, I differ. Enjoy your "fun." That doesn't change my point of view on the matter.

Wanna make a target out of the face of Ayatollah Khomeini? Go for it. Abdullah of Saudi Arabia or any one of a number of his relatives who sponsor terrorism? Go for it.

Wanna have "fun" by making and selling bullets you think are offensive to an entire religion? That's bigoted by definition.

Responding to a dumb joke about, "making jihadists think twice with pork ammo" with "Yeah, being a bigot is so fucking hilarious." Is even more unhelpful. You're exercising the same level of judgement in your fight for improved cultural relations as the principal that wants to reduce gun violence by suspending a child for chewing a pop-tart into an L shape.

And posts full of accusatory three word sentences is what I consider going on tilt.

I seriously doubt it's a "joke" to anyone who happens to be a Muslim any more than a swastica on a bullet would be to a Jewish person or a KKK on a bullet would be to a black person.

It is intentionally offensive. If you don't understand that, there is something wrong.

I though he equated religion to cheesy fiction, which I found particularly funny given Ron is so religious himself.

While at first glance, the market would be expected to be 'Merkun rednecks, has anyone considered there might be a bigger market among the two sides of the Syrian conflict?

I frankly doubt that most people even give it a thought.

It's called empathy. You might want to check it out.

Bottom line: If you don't plan on being in the crosshairs, why worry about the ammo used?

Let me ask you something, do you find this piece of art offensive?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Piss_Christ_by_Serrano_Andres_(1987).jpg

Yes, it's exactly what you think it is.

So, is that offensive?

Thats about as retarded and uneducated as it gets. They must be selling to total morons.

Due to the cost of ammo, I have decided to just drip bacon grease into my hollow points when the time comes.

And what time would that be Ron

Not to me. I am not Roman Catholic. I don't think this work was meant to be funny. Whereas, Jihawg and Zombie ammo is meant to be funny.

The only art that offends me are the pieces of sculpture, collage and the like where the American flag is desecrated or denigrated. It makes me swear under my breath. Of course if the artist was present I would swear out loud. Unless it was a black or gay artist, white guys are not allowed to swear then. The truth be told, I don't go to art exhibits, too many progressive liberals in attendance generally.

When the Islamic terrorists are swarming up my driveway.

Can't you just envision a bunch of rednecks hold up somewhere in a fire fight trying to fry bacon so they can load their magazines. The more I think about that the more I can see it as a skit on Saturday Night Live.

Of course. The work offends you so you do not find it funny. Killing Muslims is more amusing to you, so you find that funny.

In a manner similar to your views in the other thread, anything you like is acceptable. Anything others like is not.

quade asked if it offended me. It does not. I think art is an acceptable form of expression. A crucifix in a jar of piss or the photograph of it can have many meanings to the artist. Did you read my post above to Skyrad? BTW, killing Islamic terrorists is the focus of the thread. There is a difference, at least to me. Maybe not to you since you do have a tendency to paint with a broad brush when it comes to right wingers.

LOL... No I think Quade is on the money on this one.

"People who hate jihadists" are simply not comparable to "people who hate Jews or blacks." Key word: Jihadists (in case italics was too subtle.) The basic problem here is that you are assuming that anyone who is trying to find an outlet for their frustration with radical Islamists is indiscriminate in their feelings towards Muslims in general. When a media outlet picks up a story like this with a headline of "Racism against Arabs alive and well in the US." or you go on tilt decrying "bigotry against an entire religion." You are putting words in the mouths of people who simply don't like radicals. I like to think enough of most Muslims to assume they wouldn't necessarily find it funny, but they probably wouldn't pay much attention to it at all if they could read about it without the "helpful" apologist commentary.

I understand it is intentionally offensive. You need to understand that you are interpreting a group of people's intentions in your own way and then reacting under that interpretation on behalf of 1.6 billion people.

Look... There are two relatively small groups of people in this dispute that need to be recognized and isolated/marginalized. Religious zealots that choose a radical path of violence, and people that can't tell the difference between a moderate/peaceful religious person and a dangerous fundamentalist. You can go wrong by incorrectly including people into either of these groups.
